Bjørn Kjos, CEO of Norwegian, said in a press release: "I'm delighted to build upon our popular USA flights and give leisure and business customers more affordable access to Singapore and the Asia-Pacific like never before.

"The 787 Dreamliner has the range to allow us to expand our long-haul services to other parts of the world while keeping fares affordable for all.

"This is just the start of Norwegian's UK expansion into new markets as we will continue connecting destinations where fares have been too high for too long."
